When traveling, rich people still can't help but Google interesting toys to learn about toys that belong to the local culture. There are many toy stores or doll stores worth visiting near Osu Akamon-dori in Nagoya. I recommend everyone to go shopping and hunt for treasures.
Must-visit toy stores
MANDARAKE
Google Map location:https://goo.gl/maps/FVaZK1Uko4jX3oHs7
A well-known second-hand toy bookstore that is so powerful that it is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Rich Man mainly collects soft plastic toys and some retro hanging cards, so he still likes to visit MANDARAKE. The Nagoya branch has four floors and is very large, so you can take your time shopping.MANDARAKE They have also launched an online store, which can ship directly to Taiwan, but the international shipping fee is not cheap, so you may still consider it.

The rich man focused his attention on soft rubber toys. There are so many different kinds of classic monsters (drooling). When I was a child, I often imagined all kinds of monsters, and then fantasized that these monsters could join forces to beat up Ultraman, but unfortunately it never happened (laughing).
Of course, there are also Godzilla monster and Mazinger King Kong series toys, which are truly timeless. The rich man wanted to buy one as a family heirloom (laughs).
These ancient solid-color muscle figures from childhood. These little heroes may be over 30 years old. I miss them so much. Fortunately, with the advanced technology, there are still replicas available for purchase. By the way, would you recommend an American doll brand? Super7 There are also many classic replica muscle figures launched, such as Alien, Space Superman, etc., and even Japanese Mega Man, Kombat Tornado, and Rich Man are also highly recommended.
Yu-Gi-Oh cards are still very popular. A perfect card can be sold for 1 million yen! The rich man remembered that he once owned a blue-eyed white dragon, but he seemed to have lost the game... so he gave it away (laughs).
The Pokémon card game is also very popular and has a whole cabinet. The points from the talent class at Little Rich School are also used to exchange Pokémon cards with the teacher. Can they be invested?
In addition to toy figures, there are also some Gundam, LEGO, TOMICA, Marvel characters, second-hand comic book photobooks (shame), DVDs and other audio-visual products, and the entire 4th floor is full of doujinshi products. The wealthy man thinks that MANDARAKE is also a good place, and I highly recommend it.
Super Potato

Super Potato (Super Potato?) is a specialty store that sells nostalgic second-hand games of Nintendo and other models. It also has a branch in Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan. As soon as you enter, you can hear the signature music of the red and white machine. It is hard to imagine that there are still a group of people who are so enthusiastic about it. For red and white machine games, it is quite recommended to go for a walk and get nostalgic. After all, who hasn't played Nintendo when I was young (laughs).
The Nintendo Famicom and Super Nintendo cartridges, Fist of the North Star series, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure are really exciting to watch, but I'm really curious about the market for these old game consoles. Can the cartridges really still play? Having an entire store filled with such retro games should be quite a business opportunity, right?
Of course, there are also Game Boy and handheld game consoles from different eras.

Suruga House

The location is next to the FUREA Plaza in Osu Shopping Street. The giant beckoning cat is above the white house in the middle, which is just blocked (laughs).
Suruga HouseThe Osu main building has three floors (3rd to 5th floor). I remember that one floor is dedicated to selling game cards. The whole floor is filled with cards. It is very spectacular and rich in content. There is a Habby Station on the 6th floor of the same building where players collect cards, so you can browse around and collect them all at once. Now Surugaya’s official online store can also ship directly to Taiwan, which is gratifying.
